Search engine optimization?

[Samantha]

Great question. It happened to me as well. I saw my site ranking high when I logged in and ranking lower when I am logged out. I think Google knows to identify your site when you log in by IP address and shows you your pages when you logged in. That's why if you want to know the real ranking of your pages, it is better to be logged out. Also there is a great free tool in Google Adwords to check the search results as they are. It is called Google Adwords Ad preview Tool.

You put in your keyword, choose the country you want to see the ranking in and get the search results. I love this tool very much.
